At meeting Of the intercollegiate Row
ing Association, at which delegates were
present from Bowdoin, Columbia, Brown,
Cornell and University of Pennsylvania held
in New York City Dec. 81, it was voted to
have the next regatta at Worcester, if salts
factory arrangements could be made; if not,
at Lake q Jorge or Saratoga, the race to be
rowed in foUr-osred shells, and on the 9TH of
July. l. B Varney. 81, was elected Sscre-
tary and Treasurer of the association, and +.
w. Curtis, 80, a member of tie regatta com
mittee. The decision of the association to
have the race rowed in four-oared shells is
very satisfactory to Bowdoin. 1t was feared
that a majority would favor an eight-oared
race, which would oblige us to purchase an
eight-o Dared shell and train up four new men.
As it is now we can use the same shell that
won the race at Lake Qunsgamond in S5,
and at Lake George in Sc. 1t 10 probable
that the crew will be the same as last year
